This style of photography has undergone a bit of a niche revival in recent years among a few more arty photographers. They appear to be selenium toned, hence the very slight purple colour which is noticeably different from the more familiar sepia. Both types of toning help preserve the photographs, and I believe that was their original purpose rather than aesthetic reasons.

These are beautiful and would look lovely on a kitchen wall. The peas look pearlescent, almost like they are precious jewels.

Thanks for revisiting Charles Jones! I was so inspired by your earlier piece that I got the book and wrote about it myself: https://professorhedgehogsjournal.uk/?s=Ghostly

What amazingly beautiful photographs . I wonder if he just failed to get noticed and encouraged and so gave up on his dream . Maybe that was why he didn’t value his negatives . Maybe he felt he was “getting above his station” or maybe he was just happy to be who he was and didn’t seek any recognition beyond that which he gave himself . I hope he wasn’t an unhappy person . He was certainly very gifted.
